NED was able to award only $484.000 for programs supporting newspapers and publications in Russia and Ukraine that were independent of the old party apparatus. I ask my colleagues. Is that money worthwhile? We spent trillions of dollars to build systems to prevent the former Soviet Union from invading Europe. to support NATO. to encourage people to emigrate. to fight for human rights in that country. Here we are with $484.000 to give people who want to build democracy and the capacity to have an instrument of communication that is independent from the old party apparatus. You can talk to any of the leaders.
